One of the joys of a
wildflower garden is the evolving palette of color combinations. This week the
flowering is in its red, white, and blue phase. Poppies and penstemon, for
example…
Blue spiderwort…
And white spiderwort
(popular with the bees)…
I have no idea how the
white penstemon and blue spiderwort got into the flower bed, but they are
happily multiplying.
Soon the poppies will be
finished blooming, but day lilies will open, shifting Nature’s palette to blue
and orange. When we plant perennial wildflower gardens we are creating a
kaleidoscope, ever shifting, ever delightful to the eye.
